My 1998 C5 coupe lasted me for several years and when I traded it in with 130,000 miles it had life left.

However, you should know there are some drawbacks. For 1997-98 the cylinder heads and the ECU were dis-continued and the brake module found on the rear end have no GM parts support.

I had a 1998 that I bought used in 2007 with 750 miles on it. I sold it in 2011 with 1500 miles. Silver over Firethorn red. I sometimes wish I had kept it because that was a sweet color combo that was not often seen.
I sold it because of the reasons you listed. GM stopped making replacement parts and they would not license to outside companies.
